About

With over 14 years of progressive experience in People Management, Corporate Services, and Organizational Development, I specialize in building structured, high-performing environments within fast-scaling businesses; from FDI startups to established multinational corporations. Throughout my career, I have partnered with senior stakeholders across companies including Ashley BW, Triumph Factory, Guardian Vietnam, and Café Amazon to design and implement people frameworks that align with each organization's growth trajectory. I am currently leading corporate culture transformation at AGC Chemicals, where I drive strategic initiatives across HR, Administration, and General Public Affairs. What sets me apart is my ability to go beyond traditional HR - I build people systems with a performance and compliance lens. My hands-on expertise in KPI frameworks, MBO systems, HR development and Job Competency Modeling enables organizations to move from reactive people management to a structured, accountable culture that directly supports business outcomes. My foundation in legal practice gives me a distinctive edge: I understand how to build trust between people and business under Vietnam's regulatory environment, ensuring that employee compensation strategy and compliance work together - not against each other, also attractiveness with market in same industrial. I bring value at the intersection of culture, structure, and governance - making me well-positioned to lead Corporate Service and Culture functions that are both people-centered and business-driven.
